Introduction
McCormick ZTX280 Row-Crop Tractor
The McCormick ZTX280 is a high-capacity row-crop tractor manufactured in Doncaster, England, by McCormick International (a division of Argo). Designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications, this machine combines high-torque engine performance with a sophisticated hydraulic system to handle demanding fieldwork.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6-cylinder, 8.3-liter (504.5 cubic inch) turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It generates a rated power of 280 hp (208.8 kW) at 2200 RPM. The engine is characterized by a high torque output of 870 lb-ft (1179.7 Nm) at 1200 RPM, providing the necessary grunt for heavy draft applications.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The ZTX280 is equipped with a Funk full power shift transmission. Standard configuration provides 18 forward and 8 reverse gears, while an optional creeper transmission variant extends this to 36 forward and 16 reverse gears. The tractor features four-wheel drive, electro-hydraulic differential locks, and power steering to ensure traction and maneuverability in various field conditions.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center load-sensing design, which optimizes flow based on implement demand. The standard pump flow is 29.1 gpm (110.1 lpm), with an optional configuration reaching 39.6 gpm (149.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category III system capable of lifting up to 24,255 lbs (11,002 kg), supporting a wide array of heavy implements.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The operator operates from a standard cab equipped with air-conditioning to maintain comfort during long working hours. The tractor has a wheelbase of 120.1 inches (305 cm) and a total weight of 23,152 lbs (10,501 kg). It is fitted with 600/70R28 front tires and 710/70R42 rear tires as standard agricultural equipment.
Conclusion
The McCormick ZTX280 is a robust, large-frame tractor engineered for intensive row-crop operations. Its combination of high engine torque, heavy lift capacity, and power shift transmission makes it well-suited for large-scale tillage and high-demand implement operation.
